New member introduction

Hello, everyone. You can see my name as my user name. I live about a mile from the Detroit Zoo, in fabulous Ferndale, Michigan. By a rough estimate I've been to fifty-six US zoos, two in Canada, and several in the UK, the Netherlands, and Israel.

We have a pretty good zoo in Detroit, certainly major league but not quite first rank. Let me know if you happen to be in town. If you like penguins, the zoo is building a huge new penguinarium; the old one is going to turned into a bat conservation center, of all things.
